CRAB AND ASPARAGUS TART
A savory tart, its silky custard thickly studded with crab meat to pick up the sweetness of the wines, and asparagus to tame tropical fruit and citrus flavors with vegetal, mineral notes and a hint of bitterness, will make for a lovely lunch or a predinner snack. Come summer, some diced zucchini can replace the asparagus. It also delivers a kick, not in the filling but in the pastry. There's no heat from the subdued alcohol in the bottle. The cayenne in the crust makes up for it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan set over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Gradually add the milk and stir until thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Add the Cheddar and Swiss cheeses, and stir until melted. Add the salt and pepper. Set aside.

- First make the pastry. Rub the flour with the butter until you have a rough, crumbly mix. If you do this in a food processor make sure you use the pulse function to avoid overworking. Add the milk and work into a stiff pastry. Chill for half an hour, then roll out and line the tart tin. Chill again for another half-hour before cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6, preferably with a flat tray big enough for the tart case on the top shelf. Prick the pastry in about 4 places with a fork and bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the asparagus, crab, eggs, cream and seasoning in a large bowl. Add them to the pre-cooked tart shell and bake for 15-20 minutes. The filling should still be slightly wobbly in the middle – it will set as it cools. Eat warm or cold.
